The premise
A madman haunted by the ghost of his ex-wife carves a corpse-laden trail.
Horror Vault's take
A suave and deeply disturbed man finds himself compelled to murder young brides, each killing peeling back another layer of a dark, buried secret. Mario Bava's stylish Italian giallo blends the mechanics of a slasher with a haunting psychological portrait of a killer who cannot escape his own past. Lush visuals and a cold, confessional narration give the film a hypnotic, nightmarish quality that sets it apart from straightforward genre fare.
